mayonnaise

🥗Healthier: Greek yogurt

Feta is lower in fat, while parmesan is often more affordable.

Preheat your grill to medium-high heat.

Husk and clean the corn.

Brush the corn with vegetable oil.

Grill the corn for 10 to 15 minutes, turning often, until kernels are tender and about 1/3 of the corn shows dark grill marks.

While the corn cooks, whisk together the mayonnaise and crema in a shallow dish.

Immediately after removing the corn from the grill, brush or roll one cob at a time generously in the creamy mixture.

Roll the coated cob in the shallow dish of crumbled cotija cheese.

Sprinkle the corn with chili powder.

Squeeze a wedge of fresh lime juice generously over the cob.

Garnish with fresh cilantro and serve immediately.
